On the 27 of April 2007 Riverside Speedway booked Bill Elliot with a guarantee no cancellation policy to promote a race for IWK Children’s Hospital, two (2) weeks prior to the race Bill Elliot made the following statements;
"There is no way I am going to Nova Scotia to race that weekend. Now stop bugging me."
"No, I am too busy."

What a joke he is!... I feel bad for the children of the IWK who will not get to meet him and the endless promotion on part of riverside who worked to hard because they knew there was no way he could "cancel" because of the extra premium paid. Apparently Nova Scotia and the money made to help support an amazing cause are all beneath him in some way. The man must have zero conscience! I hope riverside finds a suitable replacement where a famous racer has been informed on what Elliot has done and steps up to help out, otherwise its going to be hard in such short notice, but the race must go on

Just tried to post a nast chunk of Fuck Bill Elliot mail on his site and go figure, he needs your mastercard number to sign into his community. What a douche bag!

man how low can u get, sign a contract and back out, sew his ass or company, like i kno sewin' won't do much he'll just laugh his $$$ in our faces

I'm not sure how to do it, but start a group on Facebook about what he did. There is lots of people that would pass the word around and join the group. Word would move quickly.

Checked into the facebook thing. It states attacking a person or group of persons will not be tolerated and your account will be removed. Although i did start the process. Not to worry, it'll get around...

Up and runnin... Bill Elliot Sucks on Facebook...

Ooops. I done screwed that one up. The facebook thing is gone now. Damn computer thingy's.

The CUP series isn't even racing that weekend, so he has no excuses, what a piece of $hit. I'm sure he is going to the big Oxford Plains 250 race or somewhere else.

They should be able to get a better driver anyway, Elliot is washed up.

Neaver did like him

The track has been able to secure two (2) other NASCAR drivers the first to be announced is Regan Smith (01) and the other will be announced within the next day or so.

They got the right guy, young guy with lots of talent and just wants to win MONEY with someone elses car. I hope he drives it like he stole it.

Riverside Speedway names the second “NASCAR” driver to participate in the IWK250 and that will be Ricky Craven.

So both Regan Smith and Ricky Craven will participate in the 250.

Bill Elliot has released the following statement after he removed the press release from his web site stating he will participate in the IWK 250, the press release was removed from Elliot's web page on 10 or 11 of July.

MOORESVILLE, NC (July 10, 2007) - NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Bill Elliott
wishes to respond to the allegations that he rescinded an agreement to appear in the IWK 250 Pro All Stars Series at Riverside International
Speedway, scheduled for Saturday, July 21 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

I steadfastly deny that there was ever a final contract, spoken or
written, in which I agreed to both attend and compete in the event at the Riverside International Speedway. Riverside International Speedway officials contacted my representatives in April 2007 to gauge my interest in competing in this event. Race officials sent a lengthy appearance schedule in conjunction with the event. Although my family and I strongly considered attending the event, on May 15th we communicated to race officials that we were leaning against attending, due in large part to the excessive amount of travel time the commitment would involve.

Speedway and event officials were notified in writing on June 5th, 2007 that I had declined their offer to participate in the event. My family and I are disappointed that speedway and event officials continue to portray us in a negative light as a result of this matter.
